Free ATS Resume Checker
Before a human ever reads your resume, software screens it for the exact words in the job description — and most good candidates get filtered out here. Paste the job listing and your resume, and this checker shows your keyword match score and the precise terms you're missing, so you can get past the filter.
It runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded and no AI is involved — it's the same keyword matching a real ATS does. Add the missing terms only where they're genuinely true, then download your match snapshot as a PDF.

FAQ
What is an ATS and why does it matter?
An Applicant Tracking System is software employers use to screen resumes before a person sees them. It scans for the language of the job description, so a strong candidate using different words can be filtered out. Matching the listing's real keywords is how you get past it.
How does this checker work?
It pulls the most important keywords from the job description, then checks which appear in your resume, and shows a match score plus the terms you're missing. It's straight keyword matching — the same thing a real ATS does at its core — with no AI and no upload.
Should I just stuff in every missing keyword?
No. Only add terms that are genuinely true for you, and back them with a real result. Keyword-stuffing gets caught by the human who reads your resume after the filter. The goal is an honest resume that also speaks the listing's language.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole check runs in your browser — your job description and resume are never sent to a server. Only if you choose to email yourself the PDF do we store your email address, to send the snapshot and the free starter kit.
Is it really free?
Yes. The checker is free with no sign-up, like every EasyLife tool that runs in your browser. You only enter an email if you want the PDF snapshot and the free Remote Job Starter Kit.
